Now does this seem like Israel has different objectives in the Syria conflict than ours.?.or is the President just not going to mention it.. While Israel and its advocates seemed paralyzed by Mr. Obama’s move, analysts here generally condemned the decision to wait for Congressional approval, saying it weakened American leadership in the Middle East and made it more likely that Mr. Netanyahu would order Israeli military action against Iran on his own. Several experts said it was a significant setback, after months in which Jerusalem and Washington had seemed more in accord on the Iran question. “The punch line is that the more that Israel perceives the U.S. as hesitant, the more Israel will be pushed to deal alone with the Iranians, something that the U.S. really did not want,” said Michael Herzog, an Israel-based fellow of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “People ask, ‘If this is the case on a relatively simple thing like striking Syria, how will they act against Iran?’ It deepens the question marks.”
